Hey flicky1 , this is impressive, where did you say your allotment was...😂

Enjoy your beans as you have reaped what you have sown and I like that.

It's in my field in East Sussex

Hi flicky1 ,

The green beans look wonderful! I would love to grow some myself, but I have some neighbor's pets who come and like to dig holes here and there.

I grow many things in my field that has many rabbits, squirrels etc I have a fence that mostly stops the rabbits but doesn't stop squirrels or other wildlife but french beans seem to do well.

We have fences/gates in the backyard, but the dogs tend to crawl under all the time and start digging, so when we want to plant something-- we know it may not last!

I probably only get half of what I sow. 😏

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to flicky1]

That's better than what I end up getting sometimes. I try to get some flowers planted too along with veggies and those get eaten or dug up. That all depends on if a dog or something else comes by.

Have you tried a fig tree?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to flicky1]

No. We have a lot of trees in the backyard. Nice idea. Thank you.

Wow, that’s amazing! It’s something I don’t really grow but I might look into it for next year.
